Here is my experience with this airport.

I downloaded the file from Flightsim.com along with several WoAI packages that serve ZGGG.

Following the install instructions and without editing any flightplans I see...

I spotted for a while and AI departures and arrivals all worked OK.

You do not need to edit any flightplans if the airport is installed correctly.

AI will use the ICAO code regardless of the lat/lon listed in the airports*.txt portion of the flightplan.

The purpose of disabling the default files is to remove all reference of ZGGG to the default airport.

If you do not see what I posted in the screenie in the Go-to-Airport window, if selecting (new) takes you to the old airport, if you see AI at the old airport, then I think that you do not have this airport installed correctly.

You might have a corrupt download and need to delete what you have and download again.

Also, any edits you make to traffic030528.bgl will impact that file only and not change anything in any other flightplan.

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Joe

I'd just like to point out that I didn't edit any flightplans, nor did I suggest doing so. I had no 3rd party AI traffic installed when I first checked it out & only saw one AI aircraft at the new airport. After adding the new airport co-ords & installing several WOAI packages I got similar results to what you have in your screenshot.

PS. As an experiment I'll remove the default Traffic BGL & see what happens.

I removed the default Traffic030528.bgl & all is fine. Thanks Joe for confirming that.

I've removed the default Traffic030528.bgl too, & still have 40 aircraft at the new ZGGG, but I must thank Hagar for all his help.  It's a simple installation - make a ZGGG folder & put the scenery & texture folders in it, plus 3 files to be replaced in \Scenery\asia\scenery folder.  Add to the Scenery Library & there it should be...I did this but it didn't work & had it not been for Hagar's input I might have given up  but |I didn't   :D

Just a little Tip -

The WOAI Home page has a little know feature which will tell you what packages they have serve a particular airport.

This can be very useful if you are needing to edit a particular Traffic file (or files) but are not sure which airlines serve the airport in question.

After selecting the WOAI Aiports tab you just enter the ICAO code into the box and a list of airlines (packages they offer) that serve that airport will be displayed.



Hope you find this infornation useful.

Thanks Opa - I did know about that facility & have even bookmarked when I started getting WoAI ages ago
